Hoarding in Hell Novel

Chapter 287 Whispering Star (10)

The red sea came crashing down.

Ghaul felt like he was drowning.

But every drop of the red wave was the rust of the metal he had made, and it was shattered into pieces.

Gaul tried to melt the rust again and make it his own body, but it was impossible.

Non-renewable ruins. Substances that no longer have any value.

This red dust had been turned into a worthless substance that could no longer be used for any other purpose.

And at the center of it was Kang Hyunmoo.

Blood flowed down Kang Hyunmoo’s affected area. Destruction blossomed wherever blood fell.

Metals become rust, forms become dust, and those that can hold heat become ashes.

All matter has been rushed towards the ultimate reachable void.

Gaul thought about the character awakening condition of the capable person.

Those with abilities awaken their characteristics when they face the threat of death.

And all living things, when faced with a limit, to overcome the situation, the memories of the genes in the body fluctuate and search for a way out of the situation.

From your own memories, to the experiences of your parents and dozens of ancestors.

This is the most basic survival instinct.

DNA is a notebook of those experiences.

All the records of survival are written in it.

Hyunmoo’s mana, Hyunmoo’s blood, was awakening the oldest blood memories to overcome this situation.

***

[Beast blood.]

Gaul muttered like a moan.

No, Ghaul’s agent felt confused.

Now these words were not his own. The shattering star was only watching from behind, and his body was left to the agent to handle.

Now, these words were uttered for the first time by a ‘real’ broken star hiding somewhere beyond that nebula, using the body of an agent to unwittingly say it.

The shattering star, Gaul, was trembling.

It was a trembling mixed with fear, joy, and desire.

[Did you finally find ■■■■■■? Priests, this struggle had a meaning.]

Ghaul’s agent tried to control his ruthless mouth.

The shattering star, Gaul, disappeared beneath the surface consciousness as if he had just remembered that he was making a mistake.

Control of the body returned, but the situation remained the same.

Kang Hyunmoo was transforming into something different.

the beast of the end.

Ghaul couldn’t even block this summoning.

Because Hyunmoo itself was getting closer to the beast of the end.

At that moment, Hyunmoo gasped his blood. A handful of blood ran down between his fingers.

The red dust grew even thicker, but Gowl realized that the condition was taking a lot of damage to Hyunmoo as well.

Hyunmoo was burning his own blood and turning the world to ashes. In the end, it is sacrificing his own life.

Gaul felt Hyunmoo’s strength was beyond his imagination, but he still felt that his regenerative powers were worth it.Hyunmoo is still weak. The binding force of the leash that Ghaul had tied was still in effect.

Unless he becomes a completely beast, Hyunmoo is bound to lose consciousness or collapse by himself if he continues for time like this.

[Stop it, Kang Hyunmoo!]

Gawl looked at Hyunmoo and shouted.

[Are you thinking of committing suicide? Or do you intend to become another beast of the end on your own?]

Hyunmoo didn’t answer.

[I didn’t put a leash on you to restrain you! Tied up to keep you from going crazy… … .]

Then Ghaul noticed something strange. It felt like someone was behind Hyunmoo’s shoulder.

Something as small as the size of the palm of your hand.

Gaul thought it was like a fairy with something resembling mosquito wings.

Gaul shouted in shock.

[you! How are you!]

Lenian whispered something into Hyunmoo’s ear.

“The promised time has come.”

Ghaul quickly drew out his strength and summoned a giant spear and flew it. The spear was aimed exactly at Lenian, not Hyunmoo.

“The beast promised in the end.”

Just before Changi hit Lennie Ann, Hyunmoo raised his right arm to block the spear.

I wondered if the spear would pierce Hyunmoo’s right arm, but the moment it pierced the skin, the red blood that spurted out ate the spear in an instant.

“All living things in the world.”

[Don’t be fooled, beast! Do you think your master will come back?]

With Ghaul’s wild roar, five or ten spears were pierced in succession. Higher golems rushed in from all directions.

Large enough to form a small mountain, they rushed towards Hyunmoo in an instant. Even the lowest line of keeping Hyunmoo alive now disappeared from Gawul’s mind.

And at that moment, Lenian whispered his last words.

“I came to eat you like a swarm of grasshoppers.”

blah blah blah

Gaul looked up at the sky at the strange roar.

The sky was tilting. The sky was lower than ever before, and Gawl was bewildered.

As the sky receded, it hummed and made strange groans. And soon, countless swarms of mosquitoes, flies and locusts floating in the sky poured down like a waterfall.

It was the waterfall of the end that washed everything clean.

***

Gaul looked up at the sky.

It was a terrifyingly blue sky. I can’t even remember the last time I saw a clear sky and sun without a single cloud.

The sun was still shining. Under the sun that was about to fall, Gaul felt naked.

No, in reality he was almost naked.

As soon as a swarm of worms in the sky swarmed the earth, Ghaul ‘separated’ himself from this world, abandoned everything and ran away.

He threw away his equipment, the family he had summoned, and even the storm of summoned spears and blades.

He had to do that.

The floor was full of swarms of red bugs.

Even the advanced golems that had attacked the mountain were disintegrated and scattered into grains of sand.

If separation from the world had been delayed even a little, Ghaul would have been the same.

Even the agents were frightened and fled, fearing that it would start over, so they could not invade the Promised Land.

This was the sight of the end sweeping away.

After a not-so-short time passed, the swarm of insects began to soar into the sky again.

Wherever the red pillar came into view, it stood up enormously. Gaul felt a chill as he watched the sky turn red.

Perhaps other stars who were watching this spectacle, and other agents, felt similar feelings.

Because the apocalypse that I said would never start again temporarily covered the world.

Ghaul reunited himself, temporarily separated from the world, with a stiff expression.

There were still a few locusts the size of a fist left and rustling on the floor. Ghaul trampled the grasshopper with a disgusted look on his face.

The bodily fluid that burst out colored the floor black. Each one is so weak, once the apocalypse begins, it is difficult to survive unless you are an agent.

It is literally over if it goes beyond not only the sky, but also the beasts beyond that ‘boundary’.

However, in the midst of this, the sisters Sanghyeon and Hahyeon survived.

It seemed as if a swarm of insects had settled down exactly where it was and then flew away.

Seo-yeon Lee could not see where she had run in the meantime. She couldn’t come after her again, and she didn’t have the strength to pursue her.

Gaul looked away without a word.

I saw Kang Hyunmoo standing there like a tombstone.

He seemed to have lost consciousness already standing there. His complexion was pale because of a lot of bleeding.

Ghaul summoned a small dagger in his hand.

If Kang Hyunmoo had really turned into a beast, he had to admit the failure of his plan and kill him now.

His gaze turned to the hearthstone.

Opportunities can be created again. But if you don’t kill Kang Hyunmoo now, you will never kill him.

Ghaul thrust the dagger into Hyunmoo’s heart without hesitation. But at that moment, Kang Hyunmoo’s hand grabbed the dagger and twisted it.

Gawl looked at Hyunmoo with surprised eyes. Hyunmoo was smiling roundly with opaque eyes.

“Are you sleeping, butler?”

[…] … .]

Ghaul twisted the dagger again and pulled it out. It was something other than Hyunmoo that moved Kang Hyunmoo now.

Gawl, who looked suspiciously at whether he really had become a beast, stopped his doubts.

He was something different from the beast.

[Are you the beast of the apocalypse earlier? Why is the beast of the end able to cross the border and stay here? It may not be the promised time yet.]

“At the time of the appointment.”

Lenian, who borrowed Hyunmoo’s body, laughed and whispered.

“The time when the master returns is the promised time.”

As Lenian said so, he tapped Hyunmoo’s chest.

“Until then, the butler is taking good care of the house. Let the butler work hard.”

[…] … Hasn’t Kang Hyunmoo turned into a beast yet?]

“Unfortunately not yet.”

At Lenian’s answer, Ghaul stopped the twitching of the thorns.

I’ve always felt that Kang Hyunmoo was being drawn to the apocalyptic star strangely and quickly.

He thought there was someone’s temptation. And I thought it was the whispering star who once made him the doomsday star on this world.But it wasn’t.

It was a pet beast dreaming of the return of the apocalyptic star who had guided him.

Gaul muttered as if sighing.

[Sad beast. Your master has abandoned you and left you. But now, if you pick up someone and serve, do you think you will be able to play the role of your master again? Do you think the stars will condone that?]

“It’s good to say something.”

Lenian smiled and pointed to one side of the horizon. Ghaul’s neck turned towards him.

“Rather than the beasts that others threw away, the beasts you threw away are now coming back to you, so why not run away again before they are torn to pieces?”

Boom, rumbling… … .

A sandstorm raged over the horizon, distorting space.

The space shuffled and crushed, blowing the dunes away. Heat enough to melt the scorched sand dunes and turn them into glass was pouring in.

Gaul made a sound of the metal being torn.

[The whispering star… … did you call?]

Gaul asked Monstril, who was not present, but of course he didn’t answer.

But there seemed to be the sound of a whispering star scoffing from somewhere.

Whispering and encouraging someone with a message is the ability of the whispering star. If it were her, she was able to move even the agents of other stars.

Especially if it’s a star with a tangled interest.

oh oh oh oh oh!

A huge roar erupted that instantly caused a sandstorm.

Ghaul stood upright and faced the sandstorm.

[It’s none of your business, monster! There’s nothing more you can do!]

oh oh oh oh oh!

[Sleep quietly!]

Gaul gathered all his strength to defend the barrier from the approaching monster.

It was a barrier close to the separation of the world that no one could invade. However, before the wall was even completed, a powerful blow struck Ghaul’s name.

A round fissure spread across Ghaul’s body.

walk away.

Her shock sound came late. In an instant, her body was already soaring thousands of meters into the air.

She disappeared as if Gaul was a lie that she even existed.

The blown back storm swept away the dust from the area.

Hyunmoo’s body staggered and collapsed. The crossroad, which was like a sandy beach, had the silhouette of a city again.

And out of the sandstorm, a giant fox appeared.

It was a fox with flaming yellow eyes engulfed in strange black smoke.

But with each step the fox took his foot, the space was distorted, and so did its appearance.

It turned into a spider, then into an owl, then into a centipede, and then into a strange, unknown shape. The floor crumbled and melted with every step he took.

Standing in front of Kang Hyunmoo, it looked at Hyunmoo carefully.

And he began to change his body again, as if simulating that figure.

Finally, it took the form of a human woman.

“You’re dreaming. Kang Hyunmoo.”

[August, the star of monsters, is watching you.]
